Joe Namath’s most memorable New York Jets and pop culture moments

Once upon a time, a gifted athlete from Beaver Falls, PA roamed wild. He did so on the football field, though his muddy, messy and oftentimes dangerous gridiron is foreign to today’s turf. He did so off the field as well, as it related to the ladies and Hollywood.

This Western Pennsylvania kid roamed so wild that a mink coat made its unlikely and outrageous professional football debut.

Joe Namath, a man who’s just as responsible for today’s modern professional football landscape than any one individual, roamed wild during a magical time simply known as The Sixties.
